 That fact alone blew my mind ever since I saw @hlissner's NixOS and the temptation just keeps growing ever since I see more NixOS-related posts.

+While NixOS is technically a source distribution (e.g., Gentoo, KISS Linux), with the reproducibility features of Nix, its https://hydra.nixos.org/[build farm], and its https://cache.nixos.org/[very large cache], you get the binary artifacts for most of its packages for free.
+footnote:[If you want NixOS to be "truly a source distro", you can disable it by setting no binary caches in `nix.binaryCaches`.]

 * It is reproducible (in a way, anyway).
 Compared to other distros I've used in the past before discovering NixOS (which is only Arch and Fedora), it is very easy to reproduce the config.
 In my first day of using NixOS, I just enabled hlissner's default config and I was able to boot in just fine.
 (Though, changing my config into something that I want to takes the most time.)

 Rollbacks are good.
